Chapter 1667: Desire for Victory
Luther left Felix's place and returned home. By the time he got back, it
was already 2:00 in the morning. He pushed open the door and walked
in. Joyce was already asleep, curled up in bed. He walked over, took off
his clothes, and held her in his arms, falling asleep with her. Joyce
woke up drowsily and asked, "You're back." "Mm." He lightly kissed her.
"Sorry to disturb you. Go back to sleep.â He turned off the night light,
and with her in his arms, she felt especially at ease. Soon he fell asleep
too. They slept until almost 9:00 in the morning.
When Joyce woke up, she exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's so late. Today is
Andresâ kindergarten open house, and I filled out the form beforehand
to attend. It starts at ten o'clock. It's almost nine now!" Luther got up
with her and hugged her. âIt's okay, we'll make it. I'll go with you." Joyce
looked back at him and glared, "Of course you're going. This is a formal
open house, and other parents will be there. We can't let Andres down.â
"Okay." Luther picked her up from the bed and carried her into the
bathroom. "Yes, ma'am. Hurry up and wash up."
After washing up, Joyce picked out a simple suit to wear. She was
about to change when Luther stopped her and said, "Don't wear this
one, wear this one." Joyce saw the clothes that Luther brought out and
was stunned. It was casual wear from a military uniform, which was
much more casual and relaxed than a formal military uniform, but it still
had shoulder badges. She often saw her mother Cecelia wearing it.
Before coming to Khebury, Cecelia had also prepared a few sets for her
and brought them over, but she thought she wouldn't need them.
"Wear this one? Why?" Joyce couldn't understand.
"Since it's the first time we're going to the open house, we have to
make a good impression for Andres. You wearing a military uniform will
make sure no one bullies him in the future.â Luther handed her the
clothes. "Hurry up and change. There's no time to hesitate. We're
almost late.â
Joyce hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed, but under Luther's urging,
she didn't have time to think too much and changed into the casual
military uniform. Luther chose a blue suit, looking handsome and
unparalleled.
They arrived in the living room, and Mr. Arnold saw Joyce in the military
uniform for the first time. His eyes lit up, full of admiration. He said, "Mr.
Warner, Mrs. Warner, Aaron has already taken the young master to
Dewey Noble Kindergarten. Please have breakfast."
Luther looked at the time, pulled Joyce to sit down, and said, "Have a
little something to eat. We'll make it." "Mm." Joyce drank a glass of
milk, ate some croissants, and had a few bites of corn salad. Luther
had a bowl of porridge.
They left the Warner residence and Luther drove them to Dewey Noble
Kindergarten. On the way, Joyce asked, "How's Felix doing after last
night?" Luther shrugged, "Ha, he's troubled by love, and he brought it
on himself."
"Why do you sound so schadenfreude? He's your friend after all,â
Joyce scolded him.
"Women who want to marry him are lining up. In the past, he's broken
many girlsâ hearts. He's always just playing around and never serious
with anyone. I never thought he would fall for Vicki in the end. It serves
him right. If you eat too much sweet, you'll want something spicy
eventually, but he never expected to get burned himself,â Luther shook
his head helplessly. He had told Felix to be more restrained.
When Felix was determined to pursue Vicki, Luther had advised him
not to provoke her easily. But he didn't listen, so he only had himself to
blame. Taming the wildest horse required a painful price.
"Oh. They've been together for four years, right?" Joyce was surprised
at first, but then she thought it made sense. She only learned about it
after returning to Khebury.
"Why haven't they gotten married yet? Is there pressure from the
Saunders family?" Joyce asked.
Luther shook his head. "It's Vicki who doesn't want to get married. Felix
has been begging her to marry him for two or three years now, but Vicki
just won't agree."
"Oh." Joyce was initially surprised, but after thinking about it, it was in
line with Vicki's personality. She couldn't interfere in other people's
relationships. Only the individuals involved knew their own feelings and
reasons.
"When should I go see Vicki and ask about her situation?" Joyce
looked outthe window. The sunlight was perfect, and the scenery was
flying by.
âNot for now,â Luther suddenly said.
"Why?" Joyce was puzzled.
In fact, Luther didn't want to rush into things. Vicki had a certain
connection with Christian, and this matter was also related to Athena.
He wanted to wait a little longer, until he had a better understanding of
the situation.
âI'll go see her. I'm investigating Iris's case, and I want to ask if she
knows anything,â he made up an excuse.
Joyce thought about it and agreed. After all, Christian had saved her
before, and Vicki had deliberately deceived him. Perhaps she could find
some clues from Vicki.
"Okay," she nodded.
Luther put his hand on her leg. "With me here, you can rest assured
and take care of yourself. I don't want you to worry too much.â
Joyce nodded. She had been easily tired lately. This time she was
pregnant with twins, and she had to do her best to protect them. She
couldn't afford any mistakes, so she entrusted everything to Luther.
They arrived at Dewey Noble Kindergarten.
The principal greeted them personally at the door to welcome today's
visitors. Several cars were already parked in front of the kindergarten
hall, and everyone who got out of the cars was dressed up.
When Luther's car arrived, the security guard immediately opened the
door. Luther got out of the car first, and then Joyce followed. When she
appeared in her military uniform in front of everyone, there was a
collective gasp. Those well-dressed ladies couldn't help but cover their
mouths with their hands.
So cool, so handsome.
They had heard that the son of the Capital's young marshal was
coming to Dewey Noble Kindergarten to study, but they had never seen
the young marshal himself. They didn't expect to see him today.
Just by looking at his clothes, they were all outdone.
How could a red dress compare to a military uniform?
Even if they were dressed up, they couldn't compare to the heroic and
sharp appearance of a military uniform.
Not only the women, but the men present were also stunned. The way
they looked at Luther was full of envy.
The principal came forward enthusiastically, bowing and shaking
hands. "Mr. Warner, young marshal, welcome, welcome."
The kindergarten's biggest sponsor, Mr. Warner, the first female young
marshal of Pascaylia, had graced the kindergarten with her presence. It
was simply radiant.
Luther nodded slightly, and Joyce held his arm and smiled warmly.
Looking at all the admiration and envy around them, she now
understood why Luther wanted her to wear this outfit. It was not only to
give Andres face, but also because he wanted to show off.
This man's vanity and desire for victory...
Unbelievable!
